Would an Asheville person enjoy living in Wilmington/CharlestonSC...why or why not?
Would an Asheville person enjoy living in Wilmington/CharlestonSC...why or why not?
Seems like Asheville has an interesting energy to it...I'm wondering if an Asheville type of person would also enjoy Wilmington NC or Charleston SC...or if they'd find them perhaps too conservative or too dull or boring or lacking in some way or another?
Just curious...

I enjoy a trip to the coast, but live there, no thanks.
Heat, humidity, hurricanes, and the mosquitoes are the why not's.

I think that sums up the reasons for me. My father-in-law lives in Wilmington and we like the place when the reasons Native mentioned are not there.
You have to define what is an Asheville person. There are at least four broad definitions I can think of, each of which would have different answers to your question. |

I was thinking more of the left-leaning, creative types...  |

I really have no sense what the political environment in these cities is, and even if these cities were politically it was a perfect fit, heat, humidity, hurricanes, and misquotes win.
The socialists city council, and even county council is leaning that way drive me nuts, but that is such an infinitesimal effect on my life here. The freak show/tourist trappings downtown, well they're downtown, and I haven't been there in years, saving me from being towed, panhandled, or olfactorily assaulted by the great unwashed that inhabit the streets of Asheville. |

Well, not fringe left - not the socialists/communists, bums, and homeless!
I was thinking more people into good music - rock, country, bluesgrass, whatever....people who like to take extra classes in the evening and find that 'fun'...and people who like to spend time in libararies/bookstores. Please people who would enjoy seeing the huskers play music downtown, etc. |
